of George Washington.

He died December 1 4th, 1 799.

Over there is the memorial

to Thomas Jefferson,

the third President of the United States.

He died on July 4th...

That's one of the most

striking examples of...

Robert, you ought to pay attention.

You're getting a sightseeing tour

of one of the most beautiful

cities in the world.

Do you have to talk about

dead people all the time?

There's nothing in this whole city

but dead people.

l want to go back to Aunt Carolyn.

All right, no more monuments.

Tonight we'll go

to the Watergate Concert by the river.

This afternoon l'll take you

to the National Museum.

- What's in a museum?

- Dead people.

- Come on.

- Where are you going to drag us now?

- How about some ice-cream?

- Good idea.

Don't tell me l had a good idea, at last.

ls my mother in a museum?

- No.

- Good.

- l got that seat.

- No, it's mine!

Cut it out. Come on.

Give me that thing.

Robert Winters.

Your father is looking for you.

Come to the parking area.

Robert Winters.

Come to the parking area immediately.

What a delightful concert.

You are so kind.

Have you met my daughter?

- How do you do?

- Delighted.

You must be having have the time

of your life. All America at your feet.

- l'd like to talk to you, Signor Zaccardi.

- By all means. Come here.

lt's all settled.

Your father has agreed.

You'll all come to my place

for a cosy supper.

About 40 or 50 of the best people.

Will you excuse me?

l've got a terrible headache.

She hasn't been feeling well.

- Cinzia.

Do you know who this woman is?

''We'll have a cosy supper.

40 or 50 of the best people.''

l'm tired of the best people.

l wish l could meet

some of the worst people.

Papa, one night.

Let me have tonight alone.

l don't want to leave America

without having met an American.

What do you do with a girl like this?

l'm not a rich man.

Best schools in Switzerland for her.

Last month she climbs out of a window

and runs away.

One night without talking

about Stravinsky or Rossini

or you conducting La Scala

at the age of 1 4.

l'm 22 and l haven't yet given my first

performance for a man, any man.

Go ahead. Have a daughter.

See what happens.

You will come to the supper with us.

Do you understand?

You haven't eaten all day.

Without food,

everything is discord.

A starving orchestra l had tonight.

Wash your face.

Compose yourself. We will wait.

Wait.

ls this your boat?

No. l will pay you...

As soon as l get some money.

You don't have to,

it's not my boat either.

- Where are you going?
